70. The Assad Regime's Daughter that Joined the Revolution with Loubna Mrie

The Syrian Revolution quickly descended into the Syrian War. It collapsed many parts of the country and caused 6 million people to flee the country. Syrian photographer and writer, Loubna Mrie, recently published her memoirs entitled "Defiance". In them, she tells the story of her upbringing within an Alawite family, fiercely loyal to the Assad regime. Her father was, in fact, one of the regime's paid assassins. But as the revolution swept across Syria, Loubna realised she had been living a lie. She joined up with the uprising and her family not only disowned her – her father turned the violence he had perpetrated in the name of the Assad government inwards, in the most brutal of ways. Listen to our interview with Loubna Mrie to understand more deeply what happened in Syria.
